"The Carrie Diaries" doesn't officially debut on The CW until January, but the '80s-set series arrived fashionably early in Manhattan last night, with its world premiere at the New York Television Festival.

Star AnnaSophia Robb, who plays the titular diarist, was a gilded girl in a dazzling Emilio Pucci dress, which complemented her hair and skin tone oh-so nicely. She was flanked on the pink carpet by executive producer Amy B. Harris (left) and "The Carrie Diaries" author/executive producer Candace Bushnell (right).

Also in attendance? AnnaSophia's love interest on the show, Austin Butler, who plays new bad-boy-in-town Sebastian Kydd. Austin brought arm candy in the form of girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens, who looked every inch the New Yorker in all black. Another fashionista doing the premiere proud was Stefania Owens, who plays Carrie's little sister Dorrit. The 14-year-old was boho chic in a splotchy black-and-white off-the shoulder frock, topped off by an eye-catching headband. (Do we smell another Style Superstar in the making?)
